Team Spirit found themselves in the most unenviable situation at The International 12. The team played a great group stage, won the first playoff match against Virtus.pro, and rested for seven days before the key meetings in the fight for the title. Team Spirit manager Korb3n admitted that such a break is not to the player's liking.

One way or another, all experts believe that the Dragons can win TI12. All five players can pull off a single map on their characters, and there is variability in strategies. The team is capable of playing both number one and number two. We can't say that Team Spirit is completely out of reach, and Virtus.pro showed that in the face-to-face meeting, but they can find answers to many difficult situations.

But the break could harm the team's form, and that's the main concern before the face-to-face match with Team Liquid. The second concern is that many things are tied to Yatoro's play. We should focus on the past matches at TI12 and believe that the Dragons will make it to the Winners' final.

Liquid also played good matches in Group B, came out of first place, and easily dealt with Evil Geniuses. This was followed by a win over Talon Esports in the playoffs.

M1CKe and Nisha have another strong tournament and are in the top 10 in individual KDA. Mider is also in the top 3 in kills, almost 10 per map. Team Liquid is in the top 3 in pure play (18.6 kills per game for the entire team). They have well-balanced drafts, pressure on the lines, competent midgame moves, and the ability to finish maps with an advantage. According to subjective evaluations, this is another team that should win TI12. But there is one problem that has been evident throughout the season.

Team Liquid doesn't know how to play extremely important matches. Five times, the team has been to the grand finals and lost. The community used to blame the phenomenon of Gaimin Gladiators, but once Liquid lost in Riyadh to Team Spirit. The level of TI12 is higher than at regular majors, and the opponent has become an impossible opponent. It's an important match now, and Team Spirit is scoring them particularly well.

Against the recent encounters in Riyadh, Team Spirit will look like the favorite. In addition, the Dragons are in great shape right now, and Virtus.pro's misfire can be considered a coincidence. Team Liquid is performing just as well, but psychology will play an important role in Tier-1 matches. Matches between these teams in 2023 rarely ended in total defeat for either side, so we can safely expect a three-card game.
